With tinges of country and world music weaving into each other, Rose alternates between desolate and downtrodden with doses of celebration tucked into places unforeseen. Lucinda Williams turns up for...
Aaaaand... we're back. After a slow start to the year, this week provides a relative bounty of new releases, including the latest from London-based group The Duke Spirit , who, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "add a bit more studio polish and musical sophistication to their bluesy psych-rock sound on their third album, a solidly crafted set ranging from tension-filled rockers to atmospheric ballads."

Over the last 25 years or so, the term country music became something of a joke for those who searched a little deeper for the music they listen to. Somewhere after the movie Urban Cowboy , country music became less about telling the story of the common man and more a commodity being sold to the masses at your local Wal-Mart.
